Lyrics:
Fall into the depth, be reborn through death
The body wakes up, there is no going back
The body built destroys itself
Crawl forth from the dark
Cold hands on your skin
The body breaks up, a stranger deep within
The body built repairs itself
Black Cherry, Black Cherry, Black Cherry
Sour candy, apricot, apple seed
Please forget this feeling
Black Cherry, Black Cherry, Black Cherry
High school drag queen
Gumdrop, apple seed
Please forget this feeling
See into yourself
Touch the signature flesh
The body takes back, the body makes amends
The body built loves itself
Black Cherry, Black Cherry, Black Cherry
Sour candy, apricot, apple seed
Please forget this feeling
Black Cherry, Black Cherry, Black Cherry
High school drag queen
Gumdrop, apple seed
Please forget this feeling
Nobody gets off in this town
Trains don't even slow down
My high school sweetheart's married and gone
They met on a bus to San Antone
They Greyhound stops!
Somebody gets on
But nobody gets off in this town
Nobody gets off in this town
Old folks 'round here wear a frown
Now let me see if I can set the scene
It's a one-dog town and he's old and mean
There's one stop light but it's always green
Nobody gets off in this town
Nobody gets off in this town
High school colors are brown
They can't drag Main because it kicks up dust
Their cars and their dreams area all starting to rust
The high school dances are always a bust
Nobody gets off in this
Nobody gets off in this town
They oughta just tear it down
'Cause in the winter you freeze and in the summer you fry
Utility bill's the only thing that gets high
I'd go for a drink but this county is dry
Nobody gets off
Nobody gets off
Nobody gets off in this square old merry-go-round
No, nobody gets off in this town
Jesse walks with a limp from a wreck back in high school
Drags his left leg a little but don't pay that no mind
He's got shoulders that spread out like fields in Montana
A smile like its Christmas
He loves whiskey and dandelion wine
Jesse works in a truck stop just outside of Pasco
Stocking soft drinks and talking the weather till he gets off at ten
Then he stops by old blackjacks has himself one beer
Puts Hank on the jukebox
And he sweet talks whoever walks in
Frankie looks like a songbird in the dead of the winter
She's got hair the color of iron left out in the rain
And if you get lucky she might sing you a sweet song
Then you'd tell her you love her
She'd say thank you maybe next spring
Frankie's seven born youngest to six older sisters
Who got married and had themselves babies by the age of eighteen
Frankie loves all her sisters she loves all them babies
But she's been gone for so long now
Them babies they just seem like a dream
Well the wind blows you round like a bully in the Tri-Cities
Frankie's truck was a fighter but she could barely stay on the road
So she found an old truck stop just outside of Pasco
Saw Jesse in the window
She thought his smile felt a little like home
Jeese'd washed all the counters and he just switched the coffee
Frankie watched from outside till she worked up the nerve to come in
She said hey there buddy got any coffee
He said I made us a pot
My name's Jesse and I get off at ten
It's just my luck
No recess

I really hated high school
it was such a drag
everytime I walked the halls
all the kids would call me a fag
I dodn't care for physical ed
and I didn't care for history
I wanted to blow up my high school and take my G.E.D.
It's just my luck
No recess
No recess
No recess
You're in high school again
You're in high school again
You're in high school again
You're in high school again
You're in high school again
You're in high school again

No good, papa's no good, sister's no good and that's a drag
Sometimes you feel like your heads on the ceiling
When you scream your mama rag
When your daddy come home with an old soup bone
And take all your money away
And your mama's in the kitchen on the phone she be bitchin'
And your girlfriend who called to say
[Chorus]
High school lover with ya cops undercover and gettin' high, drank Lebanese
Hey mama choose that you been through
And it's right between your knees
Hair case, shotgun, rock on, chewing gum, take it to the dance tonight...
I feel so high school every time I look at you
I wanna find you in a crowd just to hide from you
And in a blink of a crinkling eye
I'm sinking, our fingers entwined
Cheeks pink in the twinkling lights
Tell me 'bout the first time you saw me
I'll drink what you think, and I'm high
From smoking your jokes all damn night
The brink of a wrinkle in time
Bittersweet sixteen suddenly
I'm watching American Pie with you on a Saturday night
Your friends are around, so be quiet
I'm trying to stifle my sighs
'Cause I feel so high school every time I look at you
But look at you
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Are you gonna marry, kiss, or kill me?
Well, we got no choice
All the girls and boys
Makin' all that noise
'Cause they found new toys
Well, we can't salute you, can't find a flag
If that don't suit you, that's a drag
School's out for summer
School's out forever
School's been blown to pieces
No more pencils, no more books
No more teacher's dirty looks, yeah
Well, we got no class
And we got no principals
And we got no innocence
We can't even think of a word that rhymes
School's out for summer
School's out forever
My school's been blown to pieces
No more pencils, no more books
No more teacher's dirty looks
Out for summer
Out 'til fall
We might not come back at all
School's out forever
School's out for summer
School's out with fever
School's out completely
Well, we got no choice
All the girls and boys
Makin' all that noise
'Cause they found new toys
Well, we can't salute you, can't find a flag
If that don't suit you, that's a drag
School's out for summer
School's out forever
School's been blown to pieces
No more pencils, no more books
No more teacher's dirty looks, yeah
Well, we got no class
And we got no principals
And we got no innocence
We can't even think of a word that rhymes
School's out for summer

'Cause they found new toys
Well we can't salute ya
Can't find a flag
If that don't suit ya
That's a drag
School's out for the summer
School's out forever
I'm bored to pieces
Well we got no class
And we got no principals
And we got no intelligence
We can't even think of a word that rhymes
Well we can't salute ya

Dirty looks

School girl sleazy with a classy kind of sassy
Little skirt hanging way up her knee
It was three young ladies, in the school gym locker
And they fine, they were looking at D
I was high school loser, never made it with a lady
'Til the boys told me something I missed
That my next door neighbor, had a daughter had a favor
And I gave the girl a little kiss, like this
See-saw swinging with the boys in the school
With your feet flying up in the air
Singing, "Hey diddle diddle, with a kitty in the middle"
I was swinging like I didn't care
So I took a big chance at the high school dance
With a miss who was ready to play
Wasn't me she was foolin'
When she knew what she was doin'
When she told me how to walk this way
She told me to
Walk this way
Talk this way
Walk this way
Talk this way
(She told me to)
Walk this way
Talk this way
Walk this way
Talk this way
Well just gimme some head
Backstroke lover always hidin' 'neath the cover
'Till I talked to my daddy he say
He said, "You ain't seen nothing
'Till you're down on a muffin
Then you're sure to be a-changin' your ways"
I met a cheerleader, was a real young bleeder
All the times I can reminisce
'Cause the best thing lovin'
With her sister and her cousin
Only started with a little kiss, like this
See-saw swingin' with the boys in the school
With your feet flyin' up in the air
Singin' "Hey diddle-diddle with the kitty in the middle
Of the swing" like I didn't care
So I took a big chance at the high school dance
With a missy who was ready to play
Wasn't me she was foolin'
'Cause she knew what she was doin'
And I know love is here to stay

I was standing by the Nile
When I saw the lady smile
I would take her out for a while
For a while
Oh, my tears wept like a child
How her golden hair was blowing wild
Then she spread her wings to fly
For to fly
Soaring high above the breezes
Going always where she pleases
She will make it to the islands in the sun
I will follow in her shadow
As I watch her from my window
One day I will catch her eye
She is calling from the deep
Summoning my soul to endless sleep
She is bound to drag me down
Drag me down
Well, just gimme a kiss!
Ooh, a-like this!
School girl sleazy
With a classy kind of sassy
Little skirt hangin' way up her knee
There were three young ladies
In the school gym locker
And they find they were lookin' at D

She told me to
Walk this way!
Well, she's fashionably lean
And she's fashionably late
She'll never wreck a scene
She'll never break a date
But she's no drag
Just watch the way she walks
She's a twentieth century fox
She's a twentieth century fox
No tears, no fears
No ruined years, no clocks
She's a twentieth century fox, oh yeah
She's the queen of cool
And she's the lady who waits
Sent to manless school
It never hesitates
She won't waste time
On elementary talk
'Cause she's a twentieth century fox
She's a twentieth century fox
Got the world locked up
Inside a plastic box
She's a twentieth century fox, oh yeah
Twentieth century fox, oh yeah
Twentieth century fox
She's a twentieth century fox
